Not a good experience here in ER. Nurse practitioner forced my leg down for an xray in a painful position that “had to be done” after I fell. I had a MAJOR hip/pelvis surgery a few months ago, there were other ways to get this xray but, instead my leg was literally pushed down & forced in a painful way to get the xray she needed. So doing that caused me more unnecessary pain. They also did not document it as a fall but just “hip pain” & it wasn’t listed as trauma either. I didn’t feel like I was properly evaluated or treated with compassion & gentleness. I’m not here to bash anyone or state names but, instead I am leaving a review because no one should ever have their leg forced in a painful position for a xray when there is other ways to get the image that was needed. I know this from experience from many X-rays due to hip dysplasia. I also have many family members in the health care field. Not a good experience. I also felt so exposed and was not given a night gown or shorts before xray. I was super embarrassed & uncomfortable as well but my biggest issue was having my leg forced in a position that was too painful after I fell. Thank you to the nurse with shorter hair & xray technician man who did treat me with kindness though, so I’d like to acknowledge those two individuals in a positive way. Alls I can pray for is healing for myself & lessons to be learned. Thankfully I am ok but what was done was, unnecessary.

I had to stay at the hospital for a couple of nights and the nurses and staff were so wonderful. Every single one was so caring and kind and made sure I was okay every step of the way. I want to give a special mention to Hailey, Stacie, Tasha, and Annette. They went above and beyond and made me feel at home as possible. And of course, Dr. Stein is probably the most thorough doctor I’ve had and you can tell she truly cares about her patients.

We live in Emerado so we are in the middle of Grand Forks and Northwood but we would rather go to Northwood because they make us feel like family. Therapy services have helped my youngest son excel in all areas and I don't know what I would have done without them!
